In t e r o f f ic e Le t t e r PROM f o h cleveb nd OFFICE *" W. R. Slaplein AMWERINB LETTER OP H/lO/47 Chiosgo OFFICE IAOCJUO IP DEPT* DATE SUBJECT med ic t a t e d November 16, 1947 laoquer Raw materials Consumed and Products Manufactured X will try and give you an answer to your latter of November 10th but it my not be 100% aoourate, I will have to do some guessing. In regard to the raw naterials oo ns used, I can get this figure quite close as 1 find from our Raw Ifeterial Consumption Report of last year that we used 670 raw materials or approximately that number. Now in regard to the-number of produota manufactured in the laaquer plant, that la going to be quits diffioult as all I have to go on without a lot of investi gating is an estimate from the monthly output^ report. We normlly mnufaoture about 600 different rexsa per month, but a number of these are repeats. Wa believe that about 20^ are new eaoh month and to these are added items in auob finishing lines as Opex Automotive, Opex industrial, eta. This gives a total of roughly 1.S00 different rexes or different formulations manu factured in the course of the year. If we wafe to give you a figure any a loser than this we would have to go through e lot of monthly reoorda, which would take eeveral days, and I am assuming from your letter that you want a prompt reply. <"A FHliXE i N23348
